This is a terrible thread already, help me ruin it even more

Officer training at Sandhurst trains the officer to infantry sstandards/specifications. Then, depending on what regiment you join, you will go on a young officers course which is specific to your regiment. If you are an infantier you will go on your platoon commanders course where you will be going on your first exercises in Brecon as an officer, do your live firing range qualifications etc. At the end of this, you go on a month long exercise abroad. It used to be Belize, but is now moving to either Kenya or Arizona.

in most cases, unless you're joining as a skilled professional (doctor,lawyer,chaplain etc) or TA.

All regiments in the British army have the same structure pretty much. In an infantry batallion you will typically have sections with 30 men in them. You will have your platoon commander who is usually a 2lt of Lt. You'll then have a sergeant then 6 or 7 lance corporals/corporals and the rest as privates.

When I commission in August next year I will hopefully join the PWRR or Royal Anglian which are both infantry regiments in the Queen's Division.
